Weather Conditions in Athens
Athens has its charms, no matter what time of the year you’re going there but it’s always a good idea to be prepared ahead and know the best time to visit Athens. This way, you can be prepared for the weather or even local events and festivals you might be able to catch. Here’s a season-wise look at the best time to go to Athens.
Winter can be cold, but it could be the best time to visit Athens if you’re looking for pocket-friendly accommodation. But flights could still be expensive as most people are returning home for the holidays. For New Year, there’s a majestic firework display by the Acropolis. Weather could be unpredictable by February when tourists are few and prices are cheap.
This is certainly the best time to visit Athens as the weather is more stable. However, in April, Easter means that air fare prices might go up, but warmer weather means that archaeological sites stay open till longer. For Easter, some shops and establishments might even stay closed.
This is peak season for tourists in Athens and this means that flights and accommodation prices also go up accordingly. The weather might become uncomfortably warm as well. People enjoy the city as there are longer daylight hours but with more tourists, the city can get crowded.
There are plenty of cultural events in the city during this time such as the full moon concerts at the Herodion and with weather being nearly perfect, it’s the best time to travel to Athens. However, flights and accommodation could still be high at this time.
If you’ve decided when to visit Athens, then do take a moment to look at the various offers on Athens tour packages and other Greece tour packages available on the SOTC website.
